Yes, all the custom work was done by the previous owner. Frank Garcia, who was the center for the Carolina Panthers.

No way is that truck fitting in my garage. Top of the roof is 7'2"

Pistons and rings just came in so all I need is head studs and a cam. Motor vids are a few months away. Have not decided on an injection system, either AEM or Holley. May have a line on a throttle body off of an RO7.

What amazes me is I will be running an LS firing order and we called Comp cams. They have 50mm, SB2 cam blanks with an LS firing order sitting on the shelf. Just need to come up with specs to have it ground.

Very cool build! I've been following this for quite a while, just haven't commented yet.

Is the LS firing order the same thing as a 4-7 swap for a 1st Gen SBC? If that's the case, it doesn't shock me that they have the blanks on the shelf. It's pretty common for race engines, both SBC and BBC.

On edit: I see it's not the same. It's a 4-7 and 2-3 swap relative to the 1st Gen engines. That is interesting the blanks were on the shelf.

I was doing it mostly for the type of electtonics I was originally going to run, but later found out it is good for about 5 HP. Not that I need 5 more HP but all the serious guys do. I think the RO7 runs that same order.

The dual swap firing order for SBC is sometimes called ls fire order stole from

I'm going to lose sleep waiting to see the finished product. This thing is insane.

Wow, I missed the engine pages, that thing is going to be insane! Good thing you're in NASCAR country because you ain't getting any replacement parts from AutoZone if something breaks.

It is going to be on the edge for sure. Pistons were made with the wrong pin height, not our fault, so they are making a new set. 6 to 8 weeks which translates into 3 to 4 months.

Now that this thread got brought back up, I need to update.

The watts mount was too low to the station tubes. We cut it out, modified it and added the trick adjuster so we can make fine changes instead of an inch at a time like it was before.
